In this paper, the limit equilibrium method with the pseudo-static approach is developed in the evaluation of the influence of slope on the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) technique is applied to optimise the solution. Minimum bearing capacity coefficients of shallow foundation near slopes are presented in the form of a design table for practical use in geotechnical engineering. It has been shown that the seismic bearing capacity coefficients reduce considerably with an increase in seismic coefficient. Besides, the magnitude of bearing capacity coefficients decreases further with an increase in slope inclination.
